Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or award (FIFA Player of the Year) for a record fourth-straight year, but it’s his outfit that has people buzzing.
The Argentine wore a black tuxedo with white polka dots, white shirt, and a matching bowtie at the awards ceremony. Here’s another look at his tux:

Sweet threads, right? He’d fit in perfectly with the Miami Heat.
Now if you’re wondering where Messi may have gotten the idea to wear such a tux, SI’s Bryan A. Graham thinks it was an homage to Mardona.
Who knows what the inspiration was? We just know it looked ridiculous.
